Shine, sirP"
And bright, manly-look ing lad Of
nine summers stepped up to a gentle
man in the Grand Central depot, New
York, and casting his large brown eyes
up into his face, asked "Shine, sir?"
Il want my shoes polished, said the
gentleman.

And in pair of seconds the boot
black was down on his knees, and
placing his box in preparation, was at
work.

gentleman.

The gentleman reached his hand in
his pocket, and drawing out silver
half dollar handed it to the boy. who
pulled out lot of change, and began
to count out the correct amount. The
gentleman moved Off toward the train
fearing he would get left, and before
the little fellow could get to him the
train pulled out.
Two years later the same gentleman
was called to New York on business.
He had forgotten the little bootblack
and his forty-fve cents change.
As he wandered up the street tho
second day after his arrival, he was
approached by lad who said;

was afraid l would never see you again.
l didn't intend to keep your money!"
and saying this, the boy pulled out a
lot of change, and, taking forty.fve
cents, prohered it to the gentleman.
The letter-written in Atlanta, Ga.
which relates the above incident with
its pleasant sequel, mentions the recent
death of Mr.. -, one of the most up
right and honored citizens of that city.
He was the boy who many years ago

The fact that the New York gentle.
man was so pleased with Little Paul
that he adopted him and educated him,
only adds a circumstance to the biog-
raphy of boy who probably would
have grown up agood man without the
aid of wealthy friends. One act OF

The Semi-Centennial.

The approaching semi-centennial of Car
roll county will be an occasion replete with
interest to all her citizens, who seem in
spired with common purpose TO honor
the day in a manner commensurate with
its Importance.
The name of Carroll is proud, historic
name. 1t was chosen, as all know, In
honor of one of Marylands most distin-
guished sons Charles Carroll, of Carroll
ton. To few men, whose names adorn the
pages of history. has higher distinction
been awarded than to the ffty-six patriots
whose names are affixed to that immortal
instrument, the Declaration of lndepen-
dence. And the name of Carroll stands
pre-eminent among them, because to him
was vouehsafed the honor of survival OF
all his associates. The high-souled and
chivalrio people of Maryland cherish the
name of her distinguished son, and espe-
cially here, where it is the distinctive ap-
pellation of the county.
The lapse of half century forms an
epoch in the history Of the county, which
it is fit should be marked with emphasis
upon the historic page. Her progress has
been such that she stands in the front rank
of the sisterhood of counties composing the
State. She has dOuOieu ne" population
she has more than doubled her wealth,
Her industrious and frugal inhabitants
have given to her a material prosperity I'M
surpassed by any in the State. Her record
is a proud one, that may be contemplated
by all her children, and especially by those
who bore an active part in the formation
of the county, with the highest satisfaction.
Many of them have gone from this state
of being, but a goodly number remain to
cherish recollection of the events of fifty
years ago, and the labors and sacrifices IN
cident to the erection and organization OF
the county, which was only accomplished
after much effort, and in spite of the most
active and persistent opposition.
The celebration of the semi-centennial is
not an affair of the people at the county
seat merely; but pertains to the inhabitants
of the whole county. All are included
and all are interested. Let each district
vie with all the rest in an effort to turn
out the greatest number and to make the
most creditable display. 1t will require an
immense outpouring of the people, and
corresponding demonstration and display
to excel in enthusiasm, at least, the cele'
bration of the formation of the county
which took place here fifty years ago, But
our people have shown themselves equal tc
anything of the kind, and we look forward
to the largest and most imposing demon
stration ever witnessed in the county.

Cleveland's Health.

DIR. Sewers, of Washington, startled the
country on Monday last by giving to a
newspaper some gloomy predictions con-
corning President Cleveland. He said
that the President was not taking sufficient
exercise; that he was gaining flesh, and that
if he did not work less and walk more he
would drop off with apOplexy. In reply to
this predlcsssssln, Col Lamont said on
day that the fears expresss = .;'as1Ss'eis
in regard to President Clevelands health
are not shared by the Presidents family
and his intimate friends. The President,
Colonel Lamont said, was to all appearances
in perfect health He did not think DIR.
Sewers was in position to judge OF the
matter. as he did not know the President,
and what he said was, in the Colonel s
opinion, based merely on the assumption
that the President was gaining flesh and
took no exercise. This was not the case.
As a matter Of fact, he continued, the
President weighs less than when he first
went to Washington, and really takes as
much exercise as most other men, 1t is
true he does not walk about the city, but
he frequently walks in the country, and
there are other ways in which he gets ex-
ercise.
1t is little singular that a reputable
physician would form an opinion without
any personal knowledge, and more singular
still that he should give them out for pub
LEGATION. 1t may be the doctor adopted
the plan as a cheap mode of advertising.
